Sgt. Kevin Ballew who is the field sergeant assigned to Warren/Cannon counties for the Tennessee Highway Patrol, recently graduated from the Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command. The 10-week school began, on March 25, 2019, and concluded with graduation on May 31, at the Nashville Airport Marriott.

“As a School of Police Staff and Command Alumnus, I can attest to the rigorous atmosphere in this class,” said Capt. R.C.

In law enforcement, the climate is constantly changing, and our survival depends on our ability to adapt and overcome those changes. We congratulate Sgt. Ballew.
